Russell Brand and his girlfriend are reportedly expecting their first baby

Comedian and TV personality Russell Brand might be becoming a father very soon, if reports are to be believed.

The 40 year old and his girlfriend Laura Gallacher, 27, are said to be expecting their first child together. After moving into the same house together just six months ago, it's rumoured that the pretty blonde and funny man Russell are five months pregnant together already. Laura, who is the younger sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, has been dating Russell on and off for the past few years.

The couple live together in a luxurious pad near Henley on Thames in Oxfordshire and are supposedly planning a lavish £1 million nursery for their new addition to the family.

Self-confessed sex addict Russell has had a whole string of previous relationships including being previously married to pop princess Katy Perry, but the couple never had children. At the time Russell spoke about his desire to start a family on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, saying 'I would like one [a baby]. I love those little babies in the beginning.'

Shortly after his appearance he broke the news of his divorce by Tweeting to fans, saying, 'Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends.'

Following the breakdown of his marriage Russell went on to date Geri Halliwell, who has daughter Bluebell from a previous relationship, and more recently Jemima Goldsmith in 2014. However, despite his long list of relationships, Russell has never had any children before.

Many people are speculating that if the news of Russell's impending fatherhood is true, then this could be the end of his womanising ways.

So far the couple have declined to comment and there has been no hint of confirmation from either of the pair's social media accounts either.
